...we made the finals! This was a huge thing for us as we were competing against professional musicians like Mal Webb, Kristina Olsen and Sally Dastey! We totally didn't expect to make the finals. In fact, some choir members (including our director, Kate) left the festival and returned home to the Mountains before we found out who the finalists actually were! Fortunately for the rest of us, Kate returned to Canberra by plane to take part in the finals! Obviously, she was excited and thought it an experience that simply could not be missed.
We didn't win, but we had a wonderful time anyway. We achieved far more than we had expected to. Big thanks to Kate for flying back down, to Sigh for teaching us the choreography and to Trish for making all the neckties, headbands and chokers! Well done Crowd Around!
